  • Four Questions Regarding the Resurrection- Midweek Refuel
    Dec 19 2024

    This Mid-Week Refuel discusses the topic of resurrection, judgment, and the end times. Pastor Johnson emphasizes the importance of taking notes and being a good listener.

    Here are the main points covered in the message:

    • Two Resurrections: There are two resurrections: the resurrection of the just (or of life) and the resurrection of the unjust (or of damnation). These are separate events.
    • The First Resurrection: The first resurrection began after Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection when some saints also rose from the dead. This is described in Matthew 27:50-53.
    • The Great White Throne Judgment: This judgment occurs after the millennium (the thousand-year reign of Christ).
    • Judgment Seat of Christ: This is a separate judgment for the saints (believers) where they will receive their rewards and positions in heaven.
    • Who Will Do the Judging: Jesus Christ will be doing all the judging. The Father has committed all judgment to the Son, based on John 5:21-22.
    • Staying Under the Blood: Pastor Johnson encourages everyone to "stay under the blood of Jesus" and to plead the blood over their lives and families.


    The message emphasizes that believers should strive to be part of the first resurrection and to avoid the great white throne judgment, stressing the importance of salvation, service to the Lord, and faith in Jesus Christ.

    The church is located at 3002 Chelsea Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, with services at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday.
